Curriculum staffing: Primary curriculum (years 1-8)
Follow the steps below to calculate the primary curriculum staffing for schools with students in years 1-8.
- Divide the Year 1 Immersion roll by 15
- Divide the Years 2-8 Immersion roll by 18
- Divide the Year 1 Non-Immersion roll by 15
- Divide the Years 2-3 Non-Immersion roll by 23
- Divide the Years 4-8 Non-Immersion roll by 29
- Add the results of steps 1-5 together. If the total is less than 1.0, replace with 1.0.
- Follow the table below:
| if... |
then... |
| the total roll (years 1–8) is equal to or greater than 176, and your answer to step 6 is less than 7.0 |
the primary curriculum staffing equals 7.0. This is the end of the procedure in this case. |
| the total roll (years 1–8) is equal to or greater than 176, and your answer to step 5 is greater than 7.0 |
this is your curriculum staffing. This is the end of the procedure in this case. |
| the total roll (years 1–8) is less than 176 |
continue the procedure by applying the calculation in the following steps |
- Calculate the maximum average class size (MACS) by dividing the total roll (years 1-8) by the integer part of the result of step 6
- Primary, intermediate and special schools:
| if... |
then... |
| the MACS generated in step 8 is greater than 25 |
the primary curriculum staffing equals your answer from step 6, rounded up to the next whole number. Continue to step 10. |
| the MACS generated in step 8 is less than 25 |
the primary curriculum staffing equals your answer from step 6.
End of procedure. |
- Calculate a second MACS by dividing the total roll (years 1–8) by the integer part of the result of step 8.
- Primary, intermediate and special schools:
| if... |
then... |
| the second MACS generated in step 10 is greater than 25 |
the primary curriculum staffing equals 1.0 added to your answer from step 9. End of procedure. |
| the second MACS generated in step 10 is less than 25 |
the primary curriculum staffing equals your answer from step 9. End of procedure. |
| Secondary schools (years 7 and 8 only), area and composite schools (Years 1–8 only): |
| If... |
Then... |
| the second MACS generated in step 10 is greater than 25, |
the primary curriculum staffing equals your answer from step 9, rounded up to the next whole number. End of procedure. |
| the second MACS generated in step 10 is less than 25, |
the primary curriculum staffing equals your answer from step 9. End of procedure. |
